dis\order
______________
who decides what order is…
who decides if it matters..
perhaps we spend more time listening for the person (the person’s affinity ness) rather than spending all our resources/time/people labeling/classifying/pre-scripting some supposed non-normal.
what if our only label was curiosity – what makes you itch..

ADHD As A Difference In Cognition, Not A Disorder
We are Attention Different, not Attention Deficit. But because it is misunderstood and treated as a disorder, it’s treated as something that needs fixing. So the idea seems to be that we need to get rid of my ADHD. But there’s no getting rid of it. There’s just sedating it.

..people with ADHD have an overactive imagination as opposed to a learning disability.
.. imagine being an explorer trapped in an educational classroom where the teacher is saying, ‘Pay attention to me and don’t explore,’” he says. “It drives them nuts.”

I feel for people who want to create a great work but don’t have
the necessary disorder of extreme focus
to actually pull it off.

crazywise (doc) – (Gabor Maté – maté basic needs law, Will Hall, Phil Borges et al)
one of the talks that i give is entitled.. the myth of normal.. which is to say that we think there are people who are normal over here and then there’s the pathological ones who have depression/anxiety/addiction/schizophrenia/bi-polar-disorder.. or any number of other.. adhd.. or any number of other conditions
what i see is a continuum.. that we’re all on a continuum.. theses traits to one degree or another are present in almost everybody
it’s a mythology to think there’s the normal and then there’s the abnormal..
according to research best place to be a schizophrenic in the world is not n america with all its pharmacopeia.. it’s actually a village in africa or india.. where there’s acceptance.. where people make room for your differentness.. where connection is not broken but is maintained..where you’re not excluded and ostracized but where you’re welcomed.. and where there’s room for you to act out whatever you need to act out.. your able to express whatever you need to express.. the whole community might even *sing with you or chant with you.. or hold ceremony with you.. maybe find some meaning in your ‘crazy ness’
so.. it’s contextual and it’s cultural.. so disease is not an isolated phenomena of an individual it’s culturally manufactured/constructed paradigm
so a society that cuts us off from out spirituality.. that cuts us off from society by idealizing individualism and by destroying social context.. which our society does.. which ignores our emotional needs.. is going to be a society that generates pathology.. and i think that has to do with the very nature of the economic system.. that says that what matters is not who you are but how you are valued by others.. and our society values people for material.. it’s a materialistic society .. which specifically means.. that what we value is not who people are but what they produce or what they consume.. and the people that neither consume nor produce.. they’re ostracized.. they’re shunned to the side and they’re totally devalued.. hence the rejection of old people.. because they no longer produce.. and they’re not rich enough to consume a lot either
so the very nature of this materialistic society dictates/generates/promotes that separation from ourselves
there is an intelligence.. and i’m not speaking about an operative creature .. up there somewhere.. doing things and deciding things.. but there’s an intelligence in nature and creation that if we ignore we create suffering for ourselves and other people.. and *aligning with that intelligence/connection.. is really what.. whether we do so consciously or whether we do so because we’re called to do that.. in ways that manifest compassion/connection/love..
that’s the way we’re meant to be
and so .. the recognizing that and the striving for it is what i call spirituality.. the paths are many.. some find it thru religion.. sometimes religion is an obstacle to that.. in fact.. often it is.. but it may be a conduit to it as well.. depending on who/how/where.. it’s what people are seeking... many other paths that are not religious.. but ..
fundamentally.. there’s this spiritual nature.. that if we ignore.. we’re actually ignoring an essential part of ourselves..

It’s worth the time to read this.
Every disabled person faces different accessibility barriers. We shouldn’t have to justify what we need to survive to you. We need you to believe us and accept that when we say something doesn’t work for us or is a bad policy, it doesn’t work. https://t.co/GSVaCUviuJ (http://twitter.com/GilmerHealthLaw/status/1002322928598315008?s=17)Erin Gilmer (@GilmerHealthLaw) tweeted at 4:59 PM – 31 May 2018 :
I shouldn’t have to explain why, but I do. And I have to get someone to fill out a form to prove it, which is an absurd waste of time for everyone. And they still ignore it most of the time. No one should have to explain why they need these accommodations. (http://twitter.com/GilmerHealthLaw/status/1002323812296216576?s=17)

So whether it be a straw, a wheelchair, a plastic bag, or an email – when disabled people say they need something, believe them. We aren’t whiny assholes that don’t care about the environment, medical costs, or peoples’ time. We’re just trying to live in a world not set up for us (http://twitter.com/GilmerHealthLaw/status/1002324954338095106?s=17)
thinking we are all disabled in the ecosystem as it is.. begging we get back to an undisturbed ecosystem

from awareness w/o any choice of disorder comes order; that is, from then understanding, from the observation of our daily life, which is disorderly..

Those of us with disabled children know that the only way to secure the support they need is by emphasising how useless they are in every respect.
Which rips your heart out because you know how much they can do. And how much they mean not just to their families, but the world (http://twitter.com/RoseUnwin/status/1091720632839086080?s=17)

Order, disorder, and oneself – the polymathic French philosopher Paul Valéry, born on this day in 1871, on how to never again misplace anything: https://t.co/33fKd4v21y https://t.co/k1l9tMWvIb (http://twitter.com/brainpicker/status/1189512608287809541?s=17)If you don’t want things to get lost, always put them where your instinct is to put them. You don’t forget what you would always do.
Real disorder is a breach of this rule — a waiving of the principle of frequency. Disorder comes of putting things in places you have laboriously thought up or finally discovered after a series of experiments, calculations, deviations, and successive swerves from your natural bent. And you hail each new cache as a discovery, a New World, a marvelous solution!
So when I want to find the object again, I am obliged to retrieve one particular train of thought, without anything to guide me back to it.
But if it was placed instinctively, all I need is to rediscover myself, lock, stock, and barrel — that’s to say I have only to be myself.
If disorder is the rule with you, you will be penalized for installing order.
